The Noah's Tarp is instant shade This ultralight, affordable shelter is handy to have aboard when you want weather protection in a hurry, whether you are traveling over land or water Handy for boating, camping, backpacking, sporting events, and festivals

I set this tarp up for a thunderstorm that came suddenly during a camping trip. There were high winds that came with the storm and for three days during several storms, this tarp kept everyone and everything underneath it dry! It worked great to shade us all from the sun as well! This tarp was easy to set up, did not leak and had ample room for equipment and campers. I did use this with two kelty poles(which I highly recommend) and tied the tieouts from the groments in the other ends to trees. After the trip I looked but found no damage to the tarp, not even to the stitching of the tarp. The other easy up canopy that someone brought had to be put away because it was getting destroyed, but not this tarp!
